A more plausible scenario: Raytheon has fully developed plasma weapons, and is gearing us up for CONTINUED use of said technology.
The U.S. military had publicly confirmed their ability to create plasma- this happened in the last two weeks.
The most reasonable conclusion from where I sit: Russian "meteor" was not a meteor. Ditto in Cuba, Florida- all around the globe where this "phenomena" looks identical.
The "loud booms" probably are directly related. They could be part of the harvesting process of plasma, or another related side effect.
Can't say anything for sure, but this thread sure looks and smells like dis-info straight from Raytheon...
And Lord knows, don't trust ANYTHING from them, or anyone like them (defense contractors et al).
What say you fine GLPers?
